TURKEYS TILL YOU CAN'T REST.


An Experienced Commission Merchant
Gives a Reporter Some Turkey Lore.
Turkeys until you can't rest.n
"More than ordinarily son
"There always are plenty of turkeys ex
planned the commission merchant, but j
never saw the promise of such large crop
before If you were to take trip up through
the center of this state, or out through New
England, you would find the trees around
every farm house full of them"
us there much profit in raising turkeysr'
Lots OF it. 1t costs the farmer next to
nothing to raise them They generally go off
In the spring and make their nests in fence
corners and out of the way places, where they
hatch their young. From that time on they
are no expense to speak of, as they usually
take their broods into the woods when they
can. If they are kept in the barnyard they
do not cost any more than chickens to raise.
when this Is done the farmers generally shut
up the old hen for few weeks, until the
youngsters get enough strength to keep up
with her. They get most of their living out
OF the bugs and insects that they find, but
come around at night for handful Of corn
or wheat.
About the middle of October the early
turkeys are pretty well grown, and they are
put through afattening process for market.
A good many different methods are EN-,
ployed. Some farmers give them all the
corn they can eat three times day. Others
shut them up and feed cornmeal dough
when the turkey tires of eating the farmer
stuffs the dough down his throat with spoon
until he is crammed full Oil meal and sun
flower seeds are also used for fattening and
in some sections walnuts are fed in the SAINT
manner. The dose is increased until Just be
fore killing time, when two dozen nuts ar,
fed each day. This is the Italian method
and the rich favor of the nut makes the tur
key taste like wild game The western farm
ers send them here for Thanksgiving ans

A former Harrisburger who once held a
state Office, and is now a resident of Phila-
delphia, was lawyer by profession, and,
after leaving the service of the state, he
settled in a county which was then greatly
excited over the discovery of oil within its
borders. Here he hung out his single and
waited for clients. Sometimes they came, but
often they didn't and his funds grew lower
and lower until at last it was a question of
bread and butter for him and his family.
Sitting in his office one day with his head be
tween his hands, cursing his hard luck and
wondering whether life was worth living, not
a cent in his pocket and nothing to eat, he
was disturbed by the entrance of an acquaint-
ance who asked him to draw up an agree
ment relating to the lease of some land and
the sinking of an oil well.
"Ill do it if you pay me" said the lawyer,
snow, see here" said the man, you know
l have no ready money, but if you draw up
these papers III give you an interest in the
welln
II won't do it,n said the lawyer. bluntly
"you have no money and are fast on the road
to the poorhouse No, won't help your
"But you must" persisted the man; ''you
can do it. 1t won't cost you cent, and you
must do it. Go ahead now. If lose it is
nothing out of your pocket Draw up these
papers, you've nothing else to do"
Well, the lawyer, to get rid of the man,
drew up the agreements, and took as his pay
an interest in the oil well.
What happened.
The oil well was gusher, and the thick
greasy fluid poured out over the derrick and
made the poor devils who were putting down
the well fairly howl with glee, The lawyer
was on hand, just as excited as anybody else
and the very first chance he got he sold out
for $1,000 cash. With his money in hi:
hand he FASTENED home and told his wife hi
good fortune and they both rejoiced
And now, mother" said he to his wife
| ''let's get out of this.n

they have fiocks of turkeys numbering thou
